  • It's amazing!
Style: Boom microphone stand with a telescoping...
I bought this unit less than 2 weeks ago and it has quickly become my go-to controller! I have used the Roland GR-33 with a Roland-ready Strat for years now and the Fishman 3Play out performs it hands down. Tracking on the Fishman is so much faster than the GR-33. I have not tried the GR-55 which is supposed to have better tracking so I don't know how it compares. But for a songwriting live performer like myself, The Triple Play is worth every penny! Yes, there are setup pains though not nearly as bad as I have read. Yes it would be nice if Fishman would just provide the software instead of making you download it. I'm guessing it saves the company money. But if you have a pretty fast internet connection it will only take an hour or less to download everything you need. The pickup did not fit on my PRS Custom 24, Gibson ES-335 or Jackson. However, it fit like a glove on my Fender Showmaster! I also gotta mention that I love being able to control plug-ins that I already own and with this unit. The GR-33 would never quite do this for me. I'm still learning what this unit can do and that's part of the fun! If you're a songwriter who only plays guitar this is a game changer. And if you play live but can't afford to hire any more band members, this device will be your horns, keys, bass or whatever else you may need! Thank you Fishman! ... show more

  • What were they thinking
Style: Boom microphone stand with a telescoping...
I am not even sure where to start but here are some of the low-lights: The original installation does not allow to set a custom path but insists on going on the system drive (under ProgramFiles (X86)). The add on products allow for selection of a custom path, however, the path needs to be entered manually for every single file. This adds up to several hours of the installation procedure, which is exacerbated by the need to open browser windows, and manually enter some authorization codes to get the unlock codes for the different software aspects. After that, half of the functionality was missing and the comment from (the actually very responsive) support team was that the only way to fix the issues was a remote session where somebody would walk me through the necessary steps. Unfortunately that remote session is only available from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm ET, which is almost guaranteed to overlap with office hours regardless which time zone you live in. Bottom line is that I have never seen any software installation as cumbersome and counter-intuitive as the Triple Play. The GUI is essentially the Fisher Prize version of what a GUI should be, it is a bit map with fixed dimensions that will work on a small number of computers but in most cases be either too small or else too large. The options are limited to selecting a maple or rosewood fret board, which simply changes the color of the fretboard from yellow to purple - and I am sorry, both look ugly and like plastic. The links that are integrated in the GUI, for example to the help sites are all broken and return 404 not found errors. The Triple Play requires a special ASIO sound driver, which unfortunately rendered every other sound device in my system inoperable, with the standard windows drivers, the lag makes the device completely useless, in other words, you pick a note, you wait, and then you wait some more and finally it is rendered. With the ASIO4ALL drivers, the lag is manageable but as mentioned, these drivers suffer from serious compatibility issues, e.g. they will not work with Steinberg Cubase or even most sound cards. When playing, the individual notes are displayed on the fretboard that is part of the GUI however, all it takes is picking some chords, even slowly and the Triple play gets hopelessly confused and sort of randomizes the individual notes rather than outputting them in the sequence they were played. This happened also with the ASIO4ALL drivers, with the Windows drivers, it was completely hopeless to begin with. Curiously, as long as the notes are played on the same string, things are working, in other words, it appears more an integration of the different pick-ups for the individual strings. The hardware itself is very nice and easy to install, I used a Fender Telecaster and it was a breeze to get everything up and running, including linking the transmitter to the USB receiver. The software is a hodgepodge of different packages mostly from Native Instruments and after 3 weeks of trial and error I still did not manage to get the unlock keys for the different features and instruments. Some of the third party GUIs can be scaled to match the screen resolution but they are still bit maps and scaling results in bad aliasing and distortions, in other words it is useless. Fishman does not issue any RMAs, those have to go through the different vendors and fortunately, that part went very smooth. For comparison, I have played other guitar synthesizers, mostly Roland and those are professional devices, whereas the Triple Play is a toy at best. I did not try using it on an Apple platform, maybe it is better there but for any Windows Systems it appears completely useless. As for system specs, I am running a dual quad core Opteron platform with 20 GB of system memory which should be enough horsepower to drive the synthesizer. The bottom line is that after 3 weeks of trying to make the triple play work and countless emails with the tech support I have not been able to get the Triple Play to work beyond generating some random noises in some pre-selected flavors. ... show more

Style: Boom microphone stand with a telescoping...
As a MacBook Pro user 2015 I found the software easy to install a bit tricky with installing of some of the vst software but once past that the software is smooth sailing. The hardware installation took a bit nothing crazy or time consuming I use a old ibanez gio throw around and watched a video on installing the hardware . Once pickup was ready and software was done installing I found that it immediately pickups your play motion the tracking is amazing I noticed temperamental glitches at first but I’m not the best at following directions so I spent time to adjust the pickup mounts and rose the height accordingly on each side with the screwdriver that comes with the pick up after doing so I was blown away with the spot on sound and tracking with this device what a game changer this product is I truly believe if more guitarists knew about this that it would be in every guitar shop so glad I made the investment and did my research . ... show more

  • Dont let the size fool you. This product is AMAZING!!!!
Style: Boom microphone stand with a telescoping...
After weeks of playing I am still getting over the shock of how impressive this device is. My experience with guitar synthesizer goes way back to the GR-1 by Roland. Which I still have but do not use. I did upgrade to the GR-55 and have used it for both stage and studio recording. I thought that Roland finally got it right with the GR-55 until I heard about Triple Play. Over a months time I read and did research on the triple play and I finally broke down and got one. I thought to myself even if its not as good as Roland I can place it on a secondary guitar. To my surprise this is not as good as Roland, IT'S WAY BETTER!!!!!. I enjoy having full control over my sound than going through knobs and buttons on the Roland, I also hate that the Roland interface use to be so organize and now everything is scatter. Triple Play interface make sense and is organize. It's about being productive rather than spending hours turning knobs and tweaking settings. I would love to give this product 5 stars. if I was a PC only user than I would have hit 5 stars but my PC is for animation and my MAC is for music and triple play does not play well with El Capitan. I already looked up on the FAQ about work around and etc. But its a pain to deal with on a MAC. One thing in particular is that the KONTACK 5 has triple play presets already set. Meaning that instead of having a single bank for all the strings its has all 6 banks sets up for each individual strings, so each string can be customize but those presets are not available on the MAC with El Capitan. If you don't upgrade to El Capitan, than on the MAC it should be fine (according to what I have read) but on the PC its amazing!!!!! The setup was intense, just have patience and don't rush the process. The more time that you spend on the setup the tracking will be perfect. I took 30 minutes to check, double check and triple check the setup. The time was well worth it cause ALL my strings and yes ALL my strings are tracking perfectly .I can do chords, leads and arpeggios and it tracks dead on. I have no blunders or digital skid mark sounds while playing or recording. It tacks better than the ROLAND. If you are impatient and rush the installation process, dont blame the product. MY setup: I have Guitar Rig on track 1 and tracks 2 -4 I have mixture of KONTACK and REACTOR SOUND BANKS loaded and a midi foot controller connected . Talk about a full customization of sound for studio and performance!!!!! Triple play has really blown my mind. ... show more

  • Wired systems like Axon are still way better
Style: Boom microphone stand with a telescoping...
This is a decent option for midi guitar, but it's got a long way to go, in terms of usability, tracking, and customer relations. I have been using the Axon midi pickup system for years, I've had an AX-100 and AX-50. Both of these have better tracking overall and are MUCH easier to set up. I don't shy away from complex music software with many layers of options, but this software was just counterintuitive in so many ways. Though the necessity of pairing it up and firing up the software every time was onerous, I was able to get it to work pretty well with Logic X. Then I tried it with Ableton and the tracking was terrible. I was getting stuck notes, missed notes and though I had programmed it for smooth slides and bends, it was retriggering every note when sliding or bending. I know midi guitar is tough, but they would have done better to just copy the technology that Axon was using (I believe they licensed some of it from Terratec) rather than try to reinvent the wheel and offer a standalone software. Meanwhile it seems 99% of people are just going to trigger sounds in a DAW they're already comfortable with. Finally when I decided to go back to my trusty Axon system, it was too late to send the Fishman back, so I figured I would sell it on ebay. I found out that Fishman has the gall to charge $30 for a "reregistration" fee for the software. This is just straight up greed as far as I'm concerned. The software is no good to me if I don't have the hardware, so how is it in any way a problem for them to transfer the license to a new user? Well I'm sure they have their self-important reasons for wanting to protect the IP on their amazing proprietary software, but keep this in mind if you're thinking of purchasing it. Someone is paying a penalty, -either you or your prospective buyer- if you ever want to sell it. ... show more

  • Easy to install. Easy to use.
Style: Boom microphone stand with a telescoping...
I was trying to decide between this and the Roland GK-3. This won for a few reasons 1) ease of install 2) wireless Installation took less than 15 minutes on my Strat. The package even came with an additional mount so I could move the pick up to another guitar if needed. By the way, once you have your two mounting pieces installed, you can swap this to any guitar with mounting hardware on it. That's another big win as I plan to use this on my baritone Tele as well. No wires! Once I got the Triple Play charged and paired with the USB dongle, I opened Logic Pro X and it immediately recognized the MIDI input from the Triple Play. What a relief! To even things out, I increased the velocity of the incoming signal for the track in Logic and it works perfectly. (Prior to that, some strings' notes were quieter than other strings'.) The tracking on this is pretty damn good. I had a YRG before and this tracks better and faster. If I ever (I'm sure I will) want to use this with any MIDI sound modules or trigger sounds from a keyboard, I can buy a MIDI USB Host box. The TriplePlay will then broadcast the MIDI information to the Host box once the dongle is plugged into that. Then the Host box will transfer the data to the sound source and trigger the sound. Can't wait. ... show more

  • complete nightmare to setup
Style: Boom microphone stand with a telescoping...
once you get everything in order, its a decent product, not worth $400 though. Mediocre. It certainly does not track as well as they claim, and there are some other, funky issues, especially with the lower strings. Random notes appear in the midi track, meaning that you have to go back and 'clean up'. like I said before, the setup is a complete nightmare. Anyone with a les paul guitar (mine is a gibson) will STRUGGLE to install the pickup. despite the pictures and videos, there is simply not enough room between the bridge and the treble pickup to fit the midi pickup. I had to flip the bridge around, so that the intonation screws were facing the tailpiece (and I had to re-intonate the guitar). Even doing this doesn't afford enough room to install the pickup by either sticking it to the face of the guitar or using the included metal bracket. I had to cut the metal bracket with bolt cutters so it would fit. Once it was all set up, I thought, just plug it in like they say in the manual, and it should work! Well, it didnt. This part took me several hours. Just for reference, my midi keyboard took about 25 seconds to install in studio one 2. Tech support is USELESS, they just tell you to look through the manuals online. This is coming from someone who is very familiar with Studio one 2 (I've had S1 'producer' for about a year now) ... show more

  • Exactly what I needed...
Style: Boom microphone stand with a telescoping...
...with a few caveats. I bought this unit in hopes of using it to bring VSTs into a live setting without having to haul around a bunch of extra equipment, re-do my entire rig, or spend an arm and a leg. After a little tinkering, it's working GREAT! I first attempted to test-fit the FTP on several of my guitars and found that installing it on something with a tremolo (especially a Floyd Rose) would be challenging due to either string height or the space between the tremolo and bridge pickup. Luckily, I was able to squeeze it onto my PRS SE CU24 Navarro by moving the bridge pickup ever so slightly towards the neck. After the hardware was installed, I spent the better part of a day downloading, burning, and installing software. Once everything was installed (and updated!), I discovered that, although there are some rather nice-sounding patches included, my old laptop wasn't quite up to the task of running many of the FTP sounds (or GuitarRig) without noise or latency. That being said, it works beautifully with my copy of SonicSynth2. Latency is virtually non-existent and the tracking is superb. Time for a new laptop, I suppose. Overall, as long as you've got a powerful enough computer (or want to run it in hardware mode to control other VSTs), the FTP is a spectacular tool for expanding your sonic palette. ... show more
